Robert Evan Ornstein Knihy

Robert E. Ornstein reexamines what is known about consciousness today & answers the question "What is consciousness?" thru a consideration of intuition & reason. He goes beyond the theory that creative impulses originate in the right side of the brain & rational impulses originate in the left side to show how a synthesis of these two functions can bring about "a more complete science of human consciousness with an extended conception of our own capabilities." Permissions Preface Toward a Complete Psychology Ordinary Consciousness: A Personal Construction Two Sides of the Brain The Temporal Dimensions of Consciousness The Traditional Esoteric Psychologies Introduction Meditation Exercises The Education of the Intuitive Mode The New Synthesis A Brief Introduction Techniques of Self-regulation An Extended Concept of Man A Postscript Notes Index

Visually and intellectually explores the history, evolution, construction, and chemical and electrical operation of the brain.

Synthesizes immunobiology, genetics, and psychology to illustrate the emotional and physical importance of pleasure and recommends ways to create positive attitudes that make life an affirmative experience

For years, North Americans have been seeking rational, analytical answers to despair and anxiety. But now, this rational Western perception of consciousness has been challenged by an Eastern discipline which brings into sharp focus the travesty and deception underlying many of the contemporary awareness movements. Yet it is also the author's intent to combat the easy criticisms of the super-rationalists who dismiss every new development as the irresponsible inventions of the "guru-of-the-month club." He offers not only the finding of extensive scientific research on the brain, but also the valuable discoveries of personal experience. There is no one who is better qualified to assess our modern approach to matters of the mind than Robert Ornstein, and he does so with clarity, wit and utter persuasiveness.

Examines the tasks of the brain from regulation of body temperature to the positive effects of tears and crying.

\"Je reicher das Leben an Freude, Genuss und Lust, desto gesünder der Mensch.\" Neueste empirische Untersuchen aus Medizin, Biologie und Psychologie liegen dieser unorthodoxen These der beiden renommierten Autoren zugrunde. Robert Ornstein und David Sobel zeigen eindrucksvoll, wie eine liebevolle Umarmung, ein witziger Film, ein Glas Wein zu einem guten Essen in geselliger Runde mehr bei der Bekämpfung von Krankheiten auszurichten vermögen als Askese, Medikamente und Diäten. Leben Sie also nach dem \"Lustprinzip\". Folgen Sie Ihren Sinnen. Verwöhnen Sie sich und andere. Und erleben Sie, wie aus den vielen kleinen Freuden des Alltags Gesundheit entsteht.
